"It takes hard facts and a constant stream of new data coming in to replace intuition and guesswork. " I could not have said it any better. I have seen many times where the business owner is the <i>expert system</i> on all aspects concerning inventory. One curious observation is that after a certain size they call Fishbowl in when the workload cannot be handled with one person anymore. In this situation we use the experts and Fishbowl to 'teach' the system everything the expert knows about inventory management, and you would not believe the speed and value it provides. It's like making clones. Take Care, Israel Robert,

Darn good product! For POS, we are using RMS. RMS's days are numbered, and we are looking hard at SalesPoint. But here is a key capability of RMS, based on its batch approach to retail stores: If the connection to the server is down, we can still process sales, and then resynch when the server comes back up. Does Fishbowl have anything in the works that might allow the SalesPoint client to operate independently in this manner? Thanks. Robert – We’ve been a Fishbowl Inventory user since mid-2008.

Young people aren't interested in manufacturing jobs or energy-sector jobs because of stereotypes about blue-collar workers or environmental objections. Hopefully manufacturing's success in this struggling economy and its increasing need for college-educated workers will convince skeptical young people to take a risk and go into this field. My brother-in-law just graduated with a degree in engineering, and he got a job literally the day of graduation. Thanks for your comment! I remember reading about that a little while ago.

The problem is that nowadays few younger people even consider manufacturing jobs... You are right, the jobs returning will be very different from the ones that were lost years ago.
